Beautiful. Happy #StGeorgesDay, #England! 🏴🏴🏴
Beautiful. Happy #StGeorgesDay, #England! 🏴🏴🏴
‘This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall, Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.’ #StGeorgesDay #ShakespearesBirthday
Those We Love (author unknown)
The True Dragon by Brian Patten — a poem for #StGeorgesDay 🏴

A reminder to anyone who loves poetry, as I do, that poetry is at its best when read aloud, each word, each syllable a stepping stone to meaning and truth. j

Along the narrow carpet ride, With primroses on either side, Between their shadows and the sun, The cows came slowly, one by one, Breathing the early morning air And leaving it still sweeter there. ~A.A.Milne #wednesdaythought #spring
Here's a throwback to our York residency in 2021, where we recorded Renaissance works associated with the city. We're heading back to York on 9 July as part of the Early Music Festival, performing in the Chapter House at the Minster.
Deep peace of the running wave to you; Deep peace of the flowing air to you; Deep peace of the quiet earth to you; Deep peace of the shining stars to you; Deep peace of Christ, Of Christ the light of the world to you; Deep peace of Christ to you.
